Bring application to foreground same as Pressing the application in the recent activity?

How can I bring my application back to foreground, same as when the user presses on the application icon/image in the recents activity.

Solution

  • You just do what Android does when the user presses the application icon/image:

    Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyRootActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

    Make sure that you specify the root activity of your application (ie: the one with ACTION=MAIN and CATEGORY=LAUNCHER).
